I guess quite a few people already know about this but, for those who don’t:
Jason Brennan, Veteran racer and one of the founding members of the RaveRacing race team, had a serious crash at the Midlands DH Champs last October. He suffered multiple injuries, the most significant of which was 2 broken vertebrae in his neck with a fragment getting pushed into and compressing his spinal cord. The Extreme medics, air ambulance, Shrewsbury, and Oswestry hospitals have all had an important role to play in patching him up but the healing process still has a long way to go.
4 months on, Jason’s still in Hospital. He’s making steady progress but currently has only limited movement in his legs and arms and has a long road ahead of him. The help and support from friends, family and the MTB community in general has been fantastic, all of which has made a huge difference.
With this in mind, I would just like to draw people’s attention to some current fund raising efforts going on.
Si Paton has donated a Sam Hill signed race jersy, currently on the Bay Linky
A Timed Practiced day with the Racers Guild guys at Cannock next weekend (19th Feb) including a raffle for some pretty amazing prizes
There’s also an auction planned at the first Gravity Enduro round at Innerleithen next month with some tastey sounding items.
The response so far has been truly heart warming and a fantastic example of the amazing people that make up this sport. Hopefully we can get Jason sorted with everything he and his family need for the fight ahead.
